President Pushes Back against Iraq Progress Report

President Bush delivered to Congress today his latest assessment of US progress in Iraq. At a combative press conference, the President said he would stick with the military surge in spite of polls showing that Americans have lost faith in the war effort. Bush insisted that, while improvements have been slow, leaving Iraq would make the US more vulnerable. David Wood is national security correspondent for the Baltimore Sun.
